Has this thing been tested and if so when will the results be published?

 

Is there any way to cover the exhaust cutout too? So it could basically be a whole cover and act as a bumper protector from the exhaust.

 

you claim you are the exclusive vendor yet another vendor on this board is selling the same product [at a much higher price]


what gives?
are you the exclusive vendor at that price?

 

I'm going to guess that the other price is for the Carbon piece

 

any straight back view and side shot of the car with it?

 

I'd like to see pictures of fitment with a stock style exhaust....ya know the non N1 style cans

 

From our discussions with APR and their distribution channels, we were given exclusivity to sell this product. If the other vendor on the board is selling them, which I personally haven't seen (didn't bother looking to tell you the truth), I don't know when or through whom they are getting them. I don't know if this other vendor even has pictures or has posted up as much info as we have. The testing was done on OUR CAR... is there anything else that you need to know? The other price, which I don't even know what they are selling at, I doubt is for the carbon piece because there has not been an MSRP released for that version.

We don't have any pictures of the diffuser with a stock exhaust and we probably won't until the first few units have shipped. (I need to ask the photographer if he has any in his stash.. I will get back to you.) I will try to see if I can snap some more pictures of the diffuser when we go to APR sometime this week or next week. The bumper is not on the car anymore, it was only used for mockup purposes.

What you see is what you get. As far as covering the exhaust portion, you will probably have to do some custom fabrication on your own if you desire. There hasn't been any wind tunnel testing if that's what you're wondering. APR has been working in conjunction with race teams and professonal racers for a while now, they have a good idea of the products they are building. I will hopefully have some impressions up of the diffuser after some track time, but that will have to be in the future.

Am I the only one who thinks this looks bad?

 

I think so.

 

it looks bad in a way, but as long as it's functional I'll buy one. But I think that the black part should go up half way to the license plate area like the evo IX rear bumper does. I made up my mind, I'm going for the IX bumper, hopefully APR will make one for the IX.

 

doubtful they will. so you want a diffuser that goes over the stock "diffuser" on the JDM IX bumper? wouldn't that look odd?

 

Not worth arguing, but there ARE other vendors who have made arrangements with APR on them.

I'm not going to list names, but they are out there.

 

just make sure you offer the best price

 

Although I agree, Voltex has already done just that.

 

true. and i was never a fan of that add-on. looks quite odd (if not extravagant), although i'm sure it serves some purpose.
